Question
Compare all the proposed models of an atom given in this chapter.

Answer

Thomson
Rutherford
Bohr
  • Positively charged sphere
  • The negatively charged electrons are spread randomly all over inside the sphere
  • Positively charged = negatively charged
  • The net charge in the atom is zero.
  • Positively charged nucleus in the centre carrying the entire mass
  • The negatively charged electrons revolve in a well defined path
  • The size of atom is very large as compared to nucleus.
  • Positively charged nucleus in the centre
  • The negatively charged electrons revolving around do not radiate energy.
  • Orbits are labelled as K, L, M, N or n = 1, 2, 3, 4

A sound producing body is at considerable distance from a man. There can be four different media W, X, Y and Z between the sound producing body and the man. The medium X brings the sound to man most quickly whereas medium Z takes the maximum time. The time taken by medium W in bringing sound to man is less than that of X but more than that of Z. The medium Y, however, fails to bring the sound from the sound producing body to the man. Which medium could be the one:
  1. Having no fixed shape and no fixed volume?
  2. Having a fixed volume but no fixed shape?
  3. Having the same composition as that on the moon?
  4. Having a fixed shape and a fixed volume?
